Notice the extra <p> tag? It makes sense: I gave Markdown a single line of text—treating it as a paragraph is exactly what it was supposed to do. I started wondering how I could tell Markdown that my title’s are not paragraphs, without including extra characters in each title. It finally dawned on me that a global tag attribute should be truly global. So I tried this:

And that does exactly what I want. It also means I can do things like add asterisks around words in a title to make them bold or italic—like I did, rather superfluously, on this title. I also think this opens up interesting formatting options for other areas of a Movable Type template. I’m not sure what yet, but I’ll be playing with the idea. If you have any suggestions, leave ‘em in the comments.
